Can any of the people who 'don't mind it' (hardly a resounding endorsement Sam) say what they think it brings to the table? Clearly it's not as big a travesty as the parasurfing sequence but I'm at a loss as to why anyone would think it is better…

ForYourEyesOnly wrote: » @Scaramanga12 - It's okay. There's a difference between violence and gore. Violence, yes, that has a place in a Bond movie. Gore? Unnecessary. We've already established what a brilliant Bond movie is (for anyone, FRWL, GF,…

The tarantula room in DN is also one of his best. So simple yet conveyed such menace whilst also setting the style for the series.

I don't think you can claim Elvis gets off because he is written as a joke. We have to judge characters on their merits as if we don't know it's a film don't we? Saying Elvis is shockingly poorly written as a henchman is a different debate to …

Well I guess we are judging that if you are given the title 'henchman' how well do you err hench? Elvis is so ineffectual perhaps he is not even worthy of the title henchman? Greene's PA might sum up his job description more accurately. So per…

What can be said here? One of the main contributors to the success of the series. Was overjoyed to meet him circa 2010 at a screening of YOLT, probably his masterpiece. That he didn't win multiple Oscars for his work on Bond is an absolute …

Timothy Dalton was a placeholder for Pierce Brosnan. The pretitle sequence to GolenEye is better then The Living Daylights and Licence to Kill combined. It's good but then so is TLD. Difficult to separate them. Thunderball is Connery's worst f…
